<p>Hey what is the protocol/requirements for creating a new zulip stream, if any?</p>

<p>so that the requests can be processed in a structured fashion? Or is the thinking that the requests should be so rare that we can continue handling via one-off process?</p>

<p>I don't think the requests are frequent enough that just asking a team lead (or someone like that) to make/"approve" the request would be too much of a burden, normally I think it's just been that those people haven't seen the request.</p>

<p>(I like this suggestion, in the sense that the people who use Zulip are the ones who are going to be making these requests, and so it makes some sense to put the interface for such requests into what they are already using. Rather than putting the requests in an entirely different forum -- putting it on github would make sense if we expected to e.g. need to link to and from the requests with the rest of the project issues and source code, but I think we can all agree that is unlikely.)</p>
